What is the transmission model of the Tharu?

[DelKarter]

The transmission model of the Tharu is DQ38. The Tharu is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, with maximum power outputs of 110kW and 137kW respectively, and peak torques of 175Nm, 250Nm, and 320Nm. Its dimensions are 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or varying the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. It is also known as a gearbox, which consists of transmission gears and an operating mechanism.

As a long-time automotive technology enthusiast, I have a particular interest in the transmission models of the Volkswagen Tharu. It primarily uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which varies depending on the engine version: the 1.5T models commonly feature the DQ200 dry dual-clutch model, while the 2.0T versions are equipped with the DQ381 wet dual-clutch. This DSG design ensures rapid gear shifts, delivering an exhilarating acceleration and optimized fuel consumption. However, during test drives, I noticed occasional minor jerks at low speeds. It's advisable for owners to check their vehicle manuals to confirm the specific model, as there might have been minor adjustments in recent years, such as enhanced control systems post the 2022 models. For daily driving, maintaining smooth starts and avoiding sudden throttle inputs can help minimize discomfort. The transmission's overall durability is commendable, and regular oil changes can extend its lifespan.

My Tharu is the 1.5T model, driven for over a year with a DQ200 dual-clutch transmission. The driving experience is smooth, with gear shifts on the highway almost imperceptible, making it quite suitable for city commuting. The average fuel consumption is around 7 liters, economical and practical, although there's a slight shudder when starting in heavy traffic, which doesn't affect safety. You can confirm the model by checking the vehicle registration certificate or inquiring at a 4S dealership—don't just rely on the salesperson's word. For maintenance, I change the transmission oil every 50,000 kilometers; it's run 30,000 kilometers now without any issues. If you're a new driver, this model is easy to handle, and using the automatic mode is very convenient.

Having repaired Volkswagen vehicles for ten years, the common transmission models for the Tharu are the 7-speed DSG types DQ200 and DQ381. Cases I've handled include low-speed jerking issues, mostly due to insufficient fluid or sensor failures. I recommend owners regularly check the transmission fluid level and wiring. Model confirmation can be easily done using the VIN code—don't overlook minor abnormal noise signals. During maintenance, replacing the fluid every 60,000 kilometers can prevent major overhauls, with the DQ381 model being more durable.
